At the end of the 5th season, Lassie, by this point now produced by Jack Wrather, had a crossover of a sort with another property owned by Wrather at the time-----The Lone Ranger!
The "Peace Patrol" referenced in the title was a promotion associated with Lone Ranger, and Timmy (Jon Provost), along with Lassie, joins up. Clayton Moore guest stars.
Note: Part of the opening credits, and the closing credits, have been edited off.
There is another copy that has the complete opening credits, but a shorter running time, and part of the opening scene was edited off that copy.
No rating.

Wow! I never knew this happened.
Ya know, it is kind of funny that, for example, WPIX in New York had rerun rights to both the Lone Ranger & Lassie, and had them airing in different day parts (Lassie in the morning, the Ranger in the afternoon), but never promoted this one-off whenever it aired as part of Lassie's syndicated package.
